Determining If a Software Upgrade Was Successful

The only way to verify that a DXi software upgrade did not complete is to review the verboseupgradeoutput log.

In System Diagnotics:/scratch/collect/node1-collection/app-info/verboseupgradeoutput

On the system: /var/log/DXi/verboseupgradeoutput

In 1.4.x, look at /var/log/DXi/upgrades/verboseupgradeoutput.<date>

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

Here are the last entries in the verboseupgradeoutput log:

Initiating stop of ADIC DSM component

Unmounting SNFS filesystems

Stopping SNFS Daemons

Stopping SNFS PortMapper

Waiting for FSMs to finish.

Jan 28 10:34:08: Stopping GUI

Jan 28 10:34:08: Removing local RPMS from /scratch/upgrade

For a good upgrade, the last line should be Removing local RPMS from /scratch/upgrade, as shown here.

Note: This log file will keep all occurrences of every upgrade preformed on the system. All information is contained in this single file.
